Over the years, you grow up, you mature and you see things in a different way, and it's reflected in the writing.

I've found for the last couple of years that the things that I can become most deeply involved with are songs that reflect my real feelings about things and so that what I've been writing about.

I may have a little bit of a talent for music, but I've learnt to tap into my own self when I write. When I put the drill bit inside my heart, sometimes I come up with something light and frothy, sometimes with something deep and painful, but it's great to connect with the audience.

Home's the most excellent place of all.

Money talks, but it don't sing and dance, and it don't walk. And long as I can have you here with me, I'd much rather be, forever in blue jeans.

Songs are life in 80 words or less.

It's very difficult for me to say 'I love you' but to sing 'I love you' for me is easier.
